WELCOME

While the Echo opposes Gen. Nichols
nomination for Governor Of this State, we
cordially welcome him to our city rs an hon
Ored son Of Louisiana, brave soldier and an
honest gentleman, and hope our people, ir-
respective Of political preferences, will show
all due respect to this distinguished Gentle
man on the occasion Of his visit to our city
to-day.
Further than this, we personally ad
vocated the closing of business houses
and shutting down of the mills, so
that employers and employees might
enjoy an opportunity of hearing the
eminent speakers.
| Bat what do we see in our Deighbor
the Commercial ? Not a welcome to
the distinguished gentlemen who Wis,
tied our city, but scathing editoria,
| filled with venom, and destitute of any
charge that could be sustained
by it. Men were button-holed OIL

entire exercises of both the afternoo

The Daily Weimer tTexas) Gim1et
after paying compliment to the EoHo
says: politics are pretty hot in Lou
isiana. The fight is a family one. 1t
is in the Democratic party, One wing
wants Gov. McEnery nominated for
governor, and the other Gen. Nichols.
Both are good and true men, and we
sincerely hope that the zeal of the two
factions will not disrupt the Demo
cratic party in that State.

The Farmersville Gazette says: "Mr.
Jesse 0dom, ST., on Monday, brought
some Allen cotton to town and sold it
at 9 3-8 cents per pound cash to
Messrs. Jacob Stein d Co. We saw
a sample of the cotton it was of fine
staple and extra length. 1t brought
SOL 10 a bale. Improved seed as
well as improved agriculture will pay
our farmers"

ONE of the heaviest losses of cotton

number of cars, together with $4,000
bales of cotton were destroyed, valued
at upwards of thrse.quartors of a mil
lion dollars. 1t is supposed the FIRE
was the work of an inoendiary.

"Stop! Not man leaves this place till the
warrant is signed"
Instantly the men halted and began to look
innocent and converse.
"Hans Coetzee, come here and sign" said
Muller again, whereupon that unfortunate
| advanced with as good grace as he could
muster, murmuring to himself curses, not
loud but deep, upon the head of "that devil
of man, Frank Muller"
However, there was no help for it, SO, with
a sickly smile, he put his name to the fatal
document in big, shaky letters, Then Muller
called another man, who instantly tried to get
out of it on the ground that his education had
been neglected and that he could not write;
an excuse that availed him little, for Frank
Muller quietly wrote his name for hilhe, feavs
ing space for his mark. After that there
was no more trouble, and in five minutes the
entire back Of the warrant was covered with
the scrawling signatures of the various mem
| bers of the court
| One by one the men went, till at last Mui-
Ter was left alone, seated there on the saw
bench, his head sunk upon his breast, holding
the warrant in one hand, while with the other
he stroked his golden beard. Presently he
stopped stroking his beard and sat for some
minutes perfectly still, so still that he
might have been carved in stone. BY this
time the afternoon sun had got behind the
hill and the deep wagon house was full of
shadow that seemed to gather round
him and invest him with a soinber,
mysterious grandeur. He looked like king
of evil, for evil has her princes as well as
good, and stamps them with her imperial seal
of power, and crowns them with a diadem of
her own; among these Frank Muller was
surely great. little smile of triumph played
| upon his beautiful. cruel face, a little light
danced within his cold eyes and ran down the
| yellow beard. AT that moment he might
have sat for portrait of his master, the
| devil
Presently he awoke from his reverie. II

CHAPTER xxx.
CONDEMNED TO DEATH.


Half an hour passed in silence, which was
only broken by the footsteps of the sentries
as they tramped, or rather loitered, up and
down, or by the occasional fall of some cal
cined masonry from the walls of the burned
out house. What between the smell of smoke
and dust, the heat of the sun on the tin roof
above, and of the red hot embers of the house
in front, the little room where Bessie was shut
up was almost unbearable, and she felt as
though she should faint there upon the sacks.
Through one of the cracks in the wagon house
wall there blew little draught and by this
crack Bessie placed herself, leaning her head
against the wall SO as to get the full benefit
of the air and command a view of the place.
Presently, several of the Beers came into the
wagon house and proceeded to pull some of the
carts and timber out of it, leaving one buck
wagon, however, placed along the wall ON the
side opposite to the crack through which she
was looking. Then they pulled the Scotch
cart over to her side, laughing about some
thing among themselves as they did so, and
arranged it with its back turned toward the
wagon, supporting the shafts upon a wagon
jack. Next, out of the further corner of the
place, they extracted an old saw bench and
set it at the top of the open space. Then Bes-
sic understood what they were doing; they
were arranging court, and the saw bench
was the judges chair So Frank Muller
meant to carry out his threat
Shortly after this all the Beers, except those
who were keeping guard, filed into the place
and began to Chamber ON the buck wagon,
seating themselves with much rough Joking

"Let the prisoner be removed, and let a
man ride full speed to the empty house on the
hillside, where the Englishman with the red
beard used to live one hour this side Of Wax
kerstroom, and bring back with him the
clergyman he will find waiting there, that
the prisoner may be offered his ministrations
Also let two men be set to dig the prisoners
grave in the burial place at the back of the
house"
The guards laid their hands upon the old
mans shoulders. and he turned and went with
them without a word. Bessie watched him
go. through her crack in the wall, till the
dear old head with its fringe of white hairs
and the bent frame were no longer visible,
and then, at last, her faculties, benumbed and
exhausted by the horrors she was passing
through, gave out, and she fell forward in a
faint there upon the sacks.
Meanwhile Muller was writing the death
warrant on sheet of his pocket book AT the
foot he left a space for his own sigma
ture, but he did not sign it for reasons of
his own. What he did Go was to pass it
round to be countersigned by all who had
formed the court in this mock trial, his OBJ
ject being to duplicate every man there pres
ent III the judicial murder by the direct and
mcontroveltible eviGen, of his sign manual.
Now, Boers are simple pastoral folk, but they
are not quite so simple as no5 to see through a
move like this, and thereon followed IA very
instructive little scene. They had, to man,
been willing enough to give their ver-
dict for the old mans execution, but
thev were by no means ready to record it in
black and white, AS soon as ever they un-
derstood the object of their feared and re-
spected commandant general desire mani
tested itself to make themselves respectively
and collectively scarce. Suddenly they found
4 that they had business outside, and something
like general attempt at a bolt ensued. Sew

extemporized jury box, and, headed by the
